Wow, Bungie, you guys are just throwing out Halo games! What's next? *Cough* Halo 4 *Cough*
Anyway, we all know about ODST. But now we get a game about the Fall of Reach? And there will be multiplayer? That just gives away the fact that it is a total FPS. Also, why would Bungie make another genre? Another RTS would be pointless; Halo Wars already established that. A "Halo" RPG would suck. I DO have a good idea though...
How many of you played "Star Wars: Battlefront"? Yeah, that game was pretty beast. But, wouldn't it be BEYOND AWESOME if the same thing happened for Halo!?!?!?
If you don't know what Star Wars: Battlefront is, it's basically a game where you fight in a mini skirmish. In the beginning, you get to choose the kind of character you want, for example if you're part of the rebel team you can choose a rebel pilot, a rocket guy, an infantry guy, etc. Wouldn't it be so cool if that happened for this as a multiplayer mode? You can choose between ODSTs, Marines, Snipers, and if you do good in the round, you get to become a Spartan for a limited time.
Of course, there will still be Slayer, Infection, King of the Hill, Oddball, etc. Also, forge, theatre mode, etc. AND a totally awesome campaign.
Roundup: This will be a FPS, but there has to be a new mode like SW:BF. Also, all the aspects from Halo 3 would be included WITH an awesome campaign.
Any feedback?
EDIT: I think predict that the release date will be in late Winter, meaning late January or February. Look at the Halo 3 Beta. It took around four months after the beta before Halo 3 was released. If the beta of THIS is coming out in September, then the main game might possible come out in January or February (hopefully February 18, 19, or 20... My 16th birthday is on the 21st =)
